Remote Connection

if you build a full-node in a server and want to call the API remotely, you must attach an access-token to validate. or you will get BTM860 error(Request could not be authenticated)

how to get access-token? you can use SSH to server and call the API create-access-token locally to create access-token,the way is below

./bytomcli create-access-token test

or

curl -X POST create-access-token -d '{"id":"test"}'

the response is like below

  "created_at": "2018-05-18T16:00:25.284677605+08:00",
  "id": "test",
  "token":"test:fe50927ddaa5bcca77021e9f50fa5ef236a6140c012d1fe2eb9241f61a9228e4

username : test password : fe50927ddaa5bcca77021e9f50fa5ef236a6140c012d1fe2eb9241f61a9228e4

now you have got the access-token, if you use a tool(like postman) to send the request,you can set Authorization as Basic Auth, and fill the username and password.

if you want use code to request , you can refer to the code below(Java version):

String auth = Username + ":" + Password;
byte[] encodedAuth = Base64.encodeBase64(auth.getBytes(Charset.forName("US-ASCII")));
String authHeader = "Basic " + new String(encodedAuth);
Map<String, String> header = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
header.put("Authorization", authHeader);

Notice : remember add the string "Basic" to request header
